The financial crisis of the early twenty-first century has caused many people living in London to feel under financial pressure. One way homeowners can help to ease this burden is by renting out their home to some of the many people who visit the city of London. Renting out your home while you are staying elsewhere is a relatively easy, and clever, way to raise money. So if you have a comfortable home, why not share it with visitors to London? Bear in mind, you will need to prepare in order to make the most out of this opportunity.
Whenever you are expecting guests it is important to give your house a thorough clean prior to their arrival. Take all your more personal items and place them in a safe place - for example a locked-off room (or look into a hiring a specialist storage unit). Do not forget that your guests will need full access to all kitchen-surfaces and table-tops, keep these areas clear in order to make your guests lives easier.
Guests will want to feel like they are free to feel at home in your house. In order to encourage this feeling and make your guests feel as comfortable as possible it is important to provide them with some essential kitchen items (such as bread and tea). You can go even further in ensuring your visitors feel at home by writing them a friendly little note which explains that the items in your kitchen cupboard are for their use.
You can improve your guests experience by leaving them some chocolate or wine (sure to brighten up a rainy day). This will display the fact that you care about your guests. In fact many guests will repay this goodwill with a gesture of their own....
Make your home look its best - it is your shop-front. Improve the little things to make your visitors really see the best of your home. Freshen up any old paintwork (inside and out) and replace tattered furniture. These touches will help to make your guest feel satisfied and may even encourage people to return in the future!
Remember, everybody makes mistakes. To prevent accidents turning into catastrophes leave some basic maintenance tools, light bulbs and some batteries in your home. Always service your electrical equipment. Finally, provide your guests with the telephone number of a trusted friend who could help in the event of a major problem with the house.
One way to really make a good impression is to leave some friendly advice for your guests, tell them where to get good food locally or what amenities are available nearby. This information can really improve someone's stay. They may even recommend you to their friends. Helpful tips about the local neighbourhood will make your guests fit into London better; so if you can help - do so.
Your guests may find it useful to have a map of the local area. You could leave directions to well known tourist spots in your part of London. Help your guests by sharing some expert knowledge.
